Coronavirus might be disrupting life in states and territories around the country, but the COVID-19 pandemic is not slowing down plans for next month's 2021 Census.


 

The Australian Bureau of Statistics says it is confident it has the right procedures in place to hold the biggest Census yet, despite lockdowns and COVID-19 outbreaks.

 

About 75 per cent of Australians are expected to complete the form online but that's not the case for everyone.

 

Demographers say it is crucial to gather data during a pandemic to determine how Australians' lifestyles have changed over time.

 

Australia's Census date is August 10.
